Introduction:
Course Objectives:
- To understand the critical characteristics of a given structure
To understand the types and causes of common deficiencies (even failures) of structures - To explain methods of observation, instrumentation, and testing
- To work out preventive measures to counteract the deterioration of structures
- To comprehend workable temporary and permanent repairs for any particular structure
- To provide a comprehensive practical guide on the practice and business of assessment of site conditions and evaluation and repair strategies and techniques of concrete structures, or other structures
- To understand the nature of innovative technology
To provide an overview of the role of effective management - To comprehend the role of the designer, the contractor and the supervision in producing sound structures
Who Should Attend?
The course is intended for design engineers, construction engineers, material engineers, maintenance technicians, and inspectors responsible for the integrity of reinforced concrete structures (buildings, bridges, pipelines, etc.).
Course Outlines:
- Understand the various types of damage that can affect concrete and reinforced concrete structures and be familiar with their effects in the assessment and rehabilitation of the structures
- List down the codes and standards used in the assessment and rehabilitation of concrete structures and identify the design precautions for carbonation and chloride ingress
- Know the method of damage assessment including the identification of service and exposure conditions of concrete structures
- Learn how to conduct a visual and exploratory investigation of damaged concrete structures and determine ways on how to locate and monitor delaminated concrete, voids, cracks, honeycombs, etc
- Explain the principles of rehabilitation including methods to prevent defects in concrete, rehabilitation methods against corrosion damage and determine the required properties of repair materials and systems in concrete structure
- Explain the surface repair of concrete structures, list material requirements, reinforcing steel cleaning, repair & protection and be familiar with the placement methods that are applied to the concrete structures
- Employ the proper procedure for strengthening and stabilization of concrete structures including the techniques/design considerations, shear transfer strengthening between members, stress reduction techniques and crack stabilization
- Identify and apply the strategies and methods of protection of concrete structures
- Be familiar with risk-based maintenance strategy as well as the required repair time, required time to start of corrosion, the time required to start of deterioration and cost analysis for different protection methods
